Today Nicole Gelinas, New York Post A year ago, virtually all of the nearly 4 million people who swamp Manhattan below 60th Street each day deserted the central city â?" except me. |
Ben Casselman, NYT Though the recession has been painful, policymakers cushioned the pandemic's blow and opened the way to recovery. |
Jeffrey Tucker, AIER President Biden made a statement last week that Americans might be able to gather in small groups by July 4, to celebrate Independence Day. One wonders who is protecting him from the reality: most of the country is almost entirely back to normal. |
Joseph Calhoun, Alhambra Investments Markets continue to move based on the expectation of a post-virus boom. At least that is the dominant narrative right now. The economy, boosted by another round of stimulus, will surge once the vir? |
Todd Vachon, The Hill The middle class was built on a foundation of worker voice and prosperity, and it has withered and died in their absence. It's way past time to modify our outdated labor laws. The PRO Act would give American workers a fighting chance to earn a decent living. |
John Tamny, RCM Nicholas Kristof is elated. Of course, there lies the problem with elation found in the overly emotional. It's not always grounded in reality. To see why, consider what has the New York Times columnist overjoyed. It's the $1.9 trillion so-called "American Rescue Plan" that President Biden has signed into law. It seems Ktistof thinks "this time is different." The spending will apparently be transformative. In Kristof's words, "one of the great moral stains on the United States" is that there's child poverty in the world's richest country. Supposedly Biden's signature will "scrub at that... |
Jessica Menton & George Petras, USA Today While some Americans have seen the value of their stock holdings soar, millions of low-income or unemployed people have missed the market boom. |
Dan Ferris, American Consequences March 15, 2021 - Today, we're sharing my (Dan Ferris) feature story from the latest American Consequences magazine. The current stock market environment is so volatile, I'm sounding a bearish alarm. |

Thomas Chatterton Williams, Law & Liberty As a conscientious liberal, Sowell leaves you with a nagging question: Why haven't you or anyone you know grappled with his work? |
Roger James Hamilton, RCM Educational technology, or edtech, is now a $10 billion global industry. It's in every classroom whether physical or virtual. But gone missing from the conversation around the proliferation of edtech companies in the U.S. and around the world is a discussion of the philosophy of education. While billions of dollars are pouring into edtech companies and new technologies are delivering and creating content in creative new ways, there does not appear to be any meaningful discussion about what education's aim should be in a world that has changed and is changing dramatically. We are now in the... |

Zachary Carter, New York Times The crisis showed, once and for all, that things fall apart when the government steps aside. |
Paul Alexander, American Institute for Economic Research The death of Common Sense begins with the words initiated by the morass of Bureaucracy couched in safety and security. Indeed, and according to past President Ronald Reagan, the most frightening words to hear in the English language are para ‘We're here from the government and we're here to help you!' The underpinnings of such beginnings appear benign and with benign neglect the malignancy storms through, metastasizing arboreally through the veins of the entire system. The world is seeing such a death these days. |
Randall Lutter, NRO Congress should act to protect the impartiality of federal agencies' economic analyses of regulations. |
Bobby Jindal, Washington Examiner The last year has been undeniably challenging for communities across the United States, leaving families and businesses reeling from an unprecedented one-two punch of health and economic hardships. Add to that the recent widespread power and drinking water failures that affected millions of people in the midst of extreme winter weather, and it is clear why a transformative investment in infrastructure should be a top priority for members of Congress, both Republicans and Democrats, in the months ahead. |
Noah Manskar, New York Post Jack Ma's clash with Beijing may have pushed him out of the public spotlight â?" but it didn't stop him from taking to the skies. The... |
Trish Regan, American Consequences In the wake of GameStop, it's clear that millennial investors have more in common with hedge fund managers than they'll like to admit. |
Teresa Tanner, USA Today OPINION 5 ways companies need to step up to help keep women in the workforce — to benefit everyone A strong female presence benefits all employees. Companies need to think creatively to stop women from leaving and to create a more diverse workforce. Teresa Tanner Opinion contributor 0:42 1:42 A senior leader walked into my office after returning from maternity leave with her third child and said she was quitting. It was too much, she told me. Work and family were at conflict, and family was going to win. It was a story I had heard over and over as a... |
Allison Schrager, Business Insider This Sunday, March 14, we will all take part in a pointless, disruptive, and expensive annual ritual. We (unless you live in Arizona, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico, or most other countries in the world) will set our clocks forward one hour and move from Standard Time (ST) to Day Light Saving Time (DST). |
